Stylish but flawed
Everytime I serve a meal on these dishes I am amazed at how stylish it looks. There's no doubt about it---they make a stunning table service. The problem is in the functionality.
First of all, I had to get a plate rack and store the dishes vertically because the 11 1/2 inch plates wouldn't fit in my cabinets. Then I had to raise the shelf above them to...

you won't be sorry.....they mix and match great with the other colors in their collection! they are a heavy weight.
i purchased the red with these to mix and match...the red on the picture is not the red on the dishes they are a chalky red..almost mauvey red.....i love bright red..so that was a bit of a bum...but they look great alone or with the blue!!!

I liked the square shape of this set and I liked that they are large in comparison to other dinnerware. I have some family members who do not like it if different food items touch, so this works out wonderfully. Also, for those wanting a full plate of food, there is plenty of room.
The bowls are larger than other bowls we have used, which I like. When we used the salad plates under hot bowls, the bowls stayed firmly in place instead of sliding around.
I did have to get used to drinking from the mugs (cups) as they have straight sides instead of being rounded, but they too hold a good amount of whatever you choose to put in them.
I did measure my dishwasher before ordering to be sure the plates clear the wand because another review I read said the plates were too large for the purchaser's dishwasher. They cleared the wand in my dishwasher fine. I like these dishes because they are different.
Two bowls were broken upon intital shipment. I contacted the manufacturer and they immediately sent out replacements.

Everytime I serve a meal on these dishes I am amazed at how stylish it looks. There's no doubt about it---they make a stunning table service. The problem is in the functionality.
First of all, I had to get a plate rack and store the dishes vertically because the 11 1/2 inch plates wouldn't fit in my cabinets. Then I had to raise the shelf above them to fit the vertical plates, which reduced the space there.
Next problem: They wouldn't fit in my dishwasher without raising the top rack to the point where my glasses wouldn't fit. That leaves me with this dilemma: wash the glasses by hand or wash the plates by hand. And if I wash the plates by hand, there usually aren't enough dishes to fill the dishwasher up. (I don't like to waste water and energy by running a partial load.) In short, I do my dishes by hand now.
Final problem: Recent scientific research has indicated that people easily overeat when the dishes are large, and I know that is certainly true for me. The larger plates, bowls, and mugs are SO BIG that I must be on guard not to put too much food in them. The bowl, for example, holds twice as much as my previous dishes---I know because I checked.

I was thrilled to see these colors available in dinnerware and immediately brought two sets home. Then, sadly, I could not close my cabinet door when the plates were stacked inside!! Turns out the plates are 11 1/2" wide and standard kitchen cabinets are 11" deep. What were they thinking?? I Hope Corelle will use these colors again in dishes that fit in American cupboards.

I can hardly believe it...I ordered these handsome dishes on Monday & they were delivered to my door in just 2 days!
The color is more burgundy than the orange-red one associates with a "chili" color, but they are beautiful. They are large & colorful...exactly what I wanted. I LOVE the square shape.
I ordered 3 sets & each set was packaged separately & shipped, beautifully packed & arrived with not even one piece chipped!
This is my second set of casual dinnerware, very different from my Sango. They're both perfect for casual entertaining with each setting a very different table with a different mood.
I'm quite looking forward to using my new red Dinnerware at my next fun gathering!

Very pleased with the high quality of the pieces in this set. We bought four sets. Highly recommended. Our cabinets are all 14" deep, so these fit fine.

I just bought 3 boxes of the green corelle dishes and I think they are beautiful. My only complaint is they don't fit in my dishwasher. I can fit 4 of the large dishes in at a time with out much else. And if you're a busy mom like me that is not practical. You may want to measure your dishwasher unless you are the dishwasher.

I've been looking for squared dishes for two years now, but have not been satisfied enough with what I found to make a purchase. When I saw these 2 months ago, I was intrigued... then I saw them on Amazon *on sale* and immediately purchased them.
Yes, the color is a bit off from the website, and the dinner plates are HUGE, but they are beautiful and very striking!! I ordered three sets: blue, green and red. I am very satisfied so far, and very happy that I waited for these dishes.

I recently purchased the Corelle Hearthstone Stoneware Indigo Blue Square 16-piece Set and love them. I was looking for dishes that were unique and that were big. I have to say that these dishes are both. I love the square plates, the size of the square bowls and the unique square cups. My favorite color is blue and my husband likes black, so to find dishes that were both colors was a plus.
The shipping on these dishes was good - nothing broken. I purchased two sets of these dishes and did discover that the bowls in one of the sets did not have the protective coating on the outside of the bowls like the other dishes had. I contacted the manufacturer immediately and was quite pleased with their customer service. They sent me a new set of bowls completely free and told me to keep the other bowls. In less than two weeks, I had my replacement bowls. In a world of lousy customer service, I must admit that these folks are great.
Overall, these dishes are beautiful, sturdy, and a set that I would recommend to anyone.
